I'm going where??


I have learned that the longhorn cattle and the buffalo on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in SE Oklahoma are being moved this winter. Apparently, because of the fires this past summer, there is not enough grass on the 60,000 acre refuge to sustain the two herds through the winter. They are being moved to the adjacent land on Fort Sill, an artillery base.

 Let's hope they will be kept out of harms way on a range they aren't currently using.

  2. I too had caught that information. Moving the Longhorns wouldn't be to bad, But trying to get the Buffalo to think moving was their idea all along might take some doing! Hope the base calls a cease-fire and the animals don't try to eat unexploded ammo laying around!
